I’m Danny Houk and I practice cartooning, drawing, sculpture, and graphic design. In the spirit of conceptual artists, I enjoy letting an idea drive the medium and creative process, hence the interdisciplinary approach throughout my work. What threads it all together is dedication to craft, vulnerability, and humor.
My influences include Wayne White, Louise Nevelson, Bruce Naumann, Lynda Barry, and Dakota McFadzean.
